Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA (2785940 Views)
oweniwe(m): 4:07pm On Aug 23, 2023 |
dessz: Just 120w? Very very poor for the price |
KINGKONG(m): 4:21pm On Aug 23, 2023 |
ojesymsym: Thanks bro, Is it this inverter you mean called Grid -tie Inverter? |
dessz(m): 4:56pm On Aug 23, 2023 |
oweniwe: Depends on how you look at it, if you are using it as an alternative to the grid, then yeah 120 watts is terrible. But for me as a student and traveler, I can take it to any state, without any complex setup, the solar s are foldable and portable as well So to me, it's basically 712wh always available as well as 120w solar to charge my fan, phone and laptop too. Good deal to me. Think of it like the difference between a desktop computer and a laptop computer, where this is like a laptop and the normal solar/inverter rig is a desktop. |

Good morning gurus in the house, Pls can gurus help me with quote to install a solar/inverter system in my house with the following load of 1500W. In addition to the house load, I will also install 4 number batteries. 1) How many solar s would I need and their sizes 2) What size and type of inverter would be best for this setup 3) What size and type of Charge Controller would be best for this setup 4) What size and type of batteries would be best for this setup Thanks as I await your responses CC Valto dacool1 mctfopt |

KINGKONG: 3.5kva is good. You can go for an Hybrid system, it's efficient. 3kva/24v or 5kva/48v all Hybrid inverter will serve you a long time. Batteries are the most important part of the system, so don't cheapen out on it. If you have extra money go for lithium, but if you don't quality wet Tall Tubular batteries will serve you a long time. 1) 3kva/24v with 5kwh batteries, 1500w of solar s 2) 5kva/48v with 10kwh batteries 2500w of solar s Any of the 2 options will do. I have used felicity hybrid, and is good. There are other brands equally good or more reliable as well. Your pocket determines your choice We have installers on this platform, you can check out there reputation/reliability here. They can easily get the job done for you. And lastly, enjoy the free goodies from the big boss Sun 3 Likes |

KINGKONG: Your questions plenty ooo, The response is more like summarising a book on solar system. If you have money go for Victron or Deye else just get a common one for your budget. MUST is ok Number of batteries and run time depends on load. Monocrystalline is a type not a brand. There are inverters with batteryless function which can work without batteries. Just State your loads and budget for the system so You can get a reasonable quote. 1 Like |

complexstuffs: 1500W is a lot of load 1) At least 10KW of solar s 2) Not less than 10KVA or 8KW inverter 3) 200A charge controller 4) Minimum of 30KWH battery, I'll recommend lithium batteries 1 Like |
dacool1(m): 7:16am On Aug 24, 2023 |
complexstuffs: Just go with mctfoot's recommendations But you will just do fine with 3.5 to 5kva inverter Up your solar PV to about 13 or 15 kw And if you insist on lead acid batteries you will need atleast 24 batteries assuming the loads will be on 24/7 and managing the batteries will be a lot of work and you will need to dedicate a whole room It's when you go solar you will realize that there are more cloudy days than sunny days. 2 Likes |

futurenix: Thanks for your input, I have a washing machine, 1.5 HP Inverter air conditioning unit, Deep Freezer (I think is about 200+ liters) A small LG fridge, 65'' Inch LED TV But out of the aforementioned appliances, I tend to do power management when the inverter is in used and also depends the last time NEPA light or generator was used to power the chest freezer.. The Chest Freezer will mostly be used on the inverter at least 3-4 hours daily depending on the cold state of the freezer... TV is definitely gonna be in used with my starlink Internet at night.... Other items will be off... I don't even intend using my air-conditioning unit or Washing machine with the inverter, My generator or NEPA light will power these items when needed and i have a solar rechargeable fans for ventilation. My budget for this system setup is tied to the quality of the tall tubular battery to be used, Inverter system and .... this can help me tailor my budget, hence the reason i needed some answers and recommendation to my questions to help me plan towards it |

KINGKONG: Well as suggested by someone here, a 3kva to 5kva will do, either 24v or 48v but will advise you get 48v should incase you may decide to expand later. I have been using Felicity brand. Also, on the issue of battery, it is highly recommend that you buy lithium batteries if you can. A 5kw will do for now and can be easily expanded later. On a different note, pls how efficient is your starlink? What are the pros and cons? |

sharks776: Thanks for your input, I will go for a 24v Inverter though and Tall Tubular Batteries for now...... Na when person don build house finish i fit talk about expanding or upgrading to a new setup system. The Starlink is very good and Ultra-fast!! I've even dismantled my DSTV dish cos i'm using IPTV and doesn't buffer a milli second... maybe except on a rainy or stormy day which doesn't last than 5 minutes The cons: *Monthly Sub is expensive especially when you do not stay at home all day (Though we split payment between my neighbor who uses the internet too) * Requires steady power supply for it to work unlike our rechargeable Mifi hence more reason I wanna get a power backup plan |

Hybrid inverter will fit your needs more. Many of them have the option to set solar usage and charging as priority. Meaning during the day, most of your energy needs will be from the sun during the day. Grid tie will not fit into your use case, particularly in Nigeria. With Grid tie feeds back your excess power to the grid as a way of selling power to them. Not applicable in Nigeria to the best of my knowledge KINGKONG: |
